It's weird outside...
Think I'll stay inside! :D
The window is from an old building (what other kind is there?) at Bodie Ghost Town. The outside image I created from a capture of the full moon over Cachuma Lake. I creeped myself out working on this last night! ;)
For the outside image, I had done a long exposure (eight seconds) and painted the tree with a flashlight. I then took that base image and spent some time in Topaz Simplify getting the colors and effects I wanted. I will post that image tomorrow so you can see what the whole thing looks like.
Then I took the old room picture and selected the glass panes of the window. I knocked out the spaces where the panes were by using "cut", which left holes in the image. I then copied the outside image and pasted it on a layer below the previously made one. A little scaling and moving around to get the moon where I wanted it and finally I had the image I wanted. This one was really fun to work through from concept to completion. :)
Comments welcome and appreciated!
